Meatballs

Mmmm meatballs.

Sorry.






1 lb ground beef
6 ounces ground italian sausage
1/4 cup bread crumbs
Mix of spices. I use what I have on hand, which usually includes:
onion powder, garlic powder, dehydrated onion, salt, pepper, oregano, rosemary, red pepper flakes.
1 tsp parmesan cheese
1 egg
Olive oil
Garlic, baby

These are guesstimates, I usually just dump stuff in and hope for the best.

Combine the meats, egg, bread crumbs, cheese and seasoning. Heat a skillet drizzle some olive oil in there, and add the garlic. Form meatballs, and fry for a minute, to get a nice crust. Finish them off in your spaghetti sauce. We also make mini loaves of our french bread, and make meatball subs.

Hamburger Helper

1 lb ground beef
Egg Noodles
1 tsp minced onion (I used the dehydrated kind, but you can use a fresh small onion)
1 tsp garlic powder
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup steak sauce
1/4 tsp onion powder
pinch of parsley
salt and pepper to taste
brown gravy

Brown the meat, dump in the seasonings, tasting as you go because I didn't measure anything ;)

Meanwhile, I cook the noodles, and made three packages of gravy.

When it was done, I threw it all together, serve.

Caldo De Res

1 pound beef shank
1 tomato, quartered
2 potatoes, cubed
1 onion, chopped
3 carrots, chopped
2-3 small ears of corn
1/2 medium head cabbage, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
bunch chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
2 ounces fresh lime juice

*you can also use beef broth instead of water

Cut up the meat a bit, I use the bone in, and season with seasoned salt. Throw everything but the lime juice in a large pot, cover with water. Simmer for a least three hours, with the last hour uncovered. Sprinkle some more cilantro on top, and add your lime juice. Serve!

Heli's London Broil

Lightly score meat in a diamond pattern on both sides. Mix marinade ingredients and pour over meat in bag or container. Let marinate for 4-24hrs, rotating occasionally. Broil or grill 5-7min on each side or to desired doneness. Slice thinly against the grain to serve.
